friendship is thought very important. Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don"t
give friendship back. That is one of the causes why some friendships don"t last very long. To have a
friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to
treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning the following rules.
Honesty (诚实) is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust (信任) one another.
If you don"t tell the truth, people usually find out, and you may lose your friend"s trust. Good friends
always trust in one another to speak and do things honestly.
Generosity means sharing (分享) and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don"t have to give your
lunch money or your clothes, of course. Instead you share your ideas and feelings. These can be valuable
(宝贵的) to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friends
know you better.
Sooner or late everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at
school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in
solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your
friend"s place, so you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. In fact,
good friendship will just not easily last. That is to say, you must give as much as you take, or friendship will
die away.
1. Is it easy to keep a good friendship?
2. What are the three rules to be a good friend?
3. Which is the base of friendship among the three rules?
4. How do you let your friends know you?

5. We should follow the three rules and give the friendship back.
(答案不唯一)
large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because
those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country
roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school,
your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care
of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations (祝贺) to you;
when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something
good to others, you will feel happy too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see
that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say
you are very happy, because you have something else that can"t be bought with money.
When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances
to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life
is like a revolving (旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be
a happy and lucky person.
B. the people who have beautiful houses
C. the people who have nice cars
D. everyone
Climbing a mountain is hard work. But one step after another finally brings a person to the top. Along
the way, he can stop and look around. And the h he climbs, the more wonderful his view (视野)
is. If he k climbing, he will have a new world b him. He will have a new way of
s everything.
Now learning another language is s like climbing a mountain. This new language can give
you a new view of l . And it is more than a look at the surface of things. It can open the way
into people"s minds and h , into a culture very d from the one of your own. This will
make you richer, richer in things that money can"t buy. Even though you never set foot on a ship or a
plane, you can be an armchair tourist through books.
Like the mountain climber who stops now and then to e the scenery around him, everyone
who is interested in reading will find pleasure in b as he fights on to learn more and more of
that new language.
The "Spider-story" is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a
cave from the English. He watched a spider making a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place
in the rock. He tried six times. On the 2 time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said
to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to defeat the English. Edison, the inventor of the light
bulb, made hundreds of models that failed 3 he found the correct way to make one. Once he was asked
4 he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, "Failure? I
have no failure. Now I know 50,000 ways that won"t work."
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it?Were conditions OK? Were you in top
from yourself? What can you change? So things will go 5 next time.
Second, is the goal you"re trying to reach a proper one? Try to do some 6 about what your real goals
may be. Think about this question. "If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent
failure in things you shouldn"t be doing any way.
The third thing to keep in ears about failure is that it"s a part of life. Learn to live with yourself even though
you may have 7 .
many different things that you can do to make friends. You may find out what they are if you watch

Here is how one new teacher made friends with the students in her class on the first day of the
school. When the bell rang, the teacher smiled at all the students. Then she said, "Good morning.
How nice it is to have all of you in my class this year! I want to know each of you very much. I am
sure we will enjoy working together."
The teacher smiled, used a pleasant voice, and acted in a friendly way. She told the students her
name and wrote it on the blackboard. Then she told them something she liked to do and hoped to do
with them during the year. The students knew that she liked many of the things they liked. Everyone
felt that she meant what she said. Each of them wanted to know her better and be her friend.
Then she let the students tell something about themselves. So they felt that the teacher knew them.
Could you make friends as the teacher did?
How do you get to know your classmates? One way is to find out more about them. During the
break you can talk to them. You may ask them their names and the names of the schools they went to
last year. They want to know about you, too. You may tell them about your interests or your holiday
experiences. It is often easy to be friends with whom people have the same interests and play the same
games. As you talk, the others may think, "I like to do the same things you do. It would be fun to be
friends with you."
Remember! Just talking together in a friendly way is one good way to make friends.

The forest is a whole of its own. It is full of many different living things. But even though they are all
different, they have one thing in common: they all need each other in order to live on.
The trees feed the forest "People" by making food in their leaves; by using sunlight to join water and
minerals from the soil and air. Their deep network of roots joins the soil together and stops it from dying
out, making it possible for living things to live in it.
Human beings are like the living things in the forest. We need one another in order to live. We need the
farmers to grow our food, railroad and truck drivers to bring it to our shops and clerks (售票员) to sell it
to us. We need people to prepare our food and cook it and others to take our waste things away. Then, of
course, we need doctors, nurses, government leaders, mailmen, telephone operators, and many others.
We also need other human beings in another way. We need people for friendship, to talk over our
problems, exchange ideas. Think how lonely and unhappy you would be if you lived all alone.
Life is a matter of giving and taking. We need to help other people as much as we need other people to
help us. Think what a good feeling you have when you have done something for someone else. You know,
being a volunteer is so great!
B. water and minerals
C. the soil and air
